CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE was defined as SZ_512,\neight times the actual on-device size.\n\nheader_log_copy() reads CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE_U32 (128) dwords from the\nRAS capability iomap, overrunning the 88-byte mapping by 448 bytes.\nThe cxl_aer_uncorrectable_error trace event memcpy()s CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE\n(512) bytes from its source.  For the CPER caller the source is\nstruct cxl_ras_capability_regs::header_log[16] (64 bytes) embedded in a\nstack-local cxl_cper_prot_err_work_data, so the memcpy reads 448 bytes\nof kernel stack into the trace event ring buffer where userspace can\nread it via tracefs.\n\nSet CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE to 64 and derive CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE_U32 from it,\nbringing all iomap readers into agreement on 16 dwords.  Userspace tools\nsuch as rasdaemon have grown a dependency on the buggy 512-byte (128 u32)\nheader_log layout in the cxl_aer_uncorrectable_error trace event.  Add\nCXL_HEADERLOG_TRACE_SIZE_U32 = 128 and use it for the trace event\n__array and its memcpy to preserve that ABI.

Disclosure requires reading tracefs; there is no network, adjacent-radio, or direct physical-bus syscall entry to the vulnerable memcpy/readl sites.\nAC:L - With CAP_SYS_ADMIN, ACPI/CXL EINJ via debugfs einj_inject deterministically injects uncorrectable CXL protocol errors that traverse cxl_cper_handle_prot_err/cxl_handle_ras. Without root, a tracing-group member on CXL servers running rasdaemon can reliably capture the leak whenever organic uncorrectable RAS events occur.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires reading cxl_aer_uncorrectable_error data from tracefs (TRACE_MODE_READ 0440), routinely granted to tracing-group/rasdaemon service accounts on CXL/RAS deployments. Triggering on demand uses debugfs EINJ (root) or natural hardware errors; no init-namespace-only capability beyond tracefs DAC is needed for the stack leak.\nUI:N - Once CXL tracepoints are enabled (as rasdaemon does automatically), uncorrectable RAS/CPER processing copies the overlong header_log during kernel error handling. No victim mount, login, or interactive action is required beyond the attacker (or environment) having tracefs access when an error fires.\nS:U - The flaw leaks kernel stack/MMIO data into the trace ring buffer within the host kernel. Impact stays in the same OS security authority (local privilege/information gain) and does not cross guest/host, IOMMU, or container hardware trust boundaries.\nC:H - TP_fast_assign memcpy() copies 512 bytes from a 64-byte ras_cap.header_log on the stack, leaking 448 bytes of kernel stack into tracefs. header_log_copy() also readl()s 128 dwords from an 88-byte RAS iomap, an out-of-bounds read of adjacent MMIO/device memory.\nI:N - Both failure modes are out-of-bounds reads only (stack and MMIO). The trace event stores leaked bytes in the ring buffer but does not corrupt attacker-controlled memory or provide a direct arbitrary-write primitive.\nA:H - header_log_copy() performs 448 bytes of MMIO reads past the devm_ioremap() RAS window (0x58 bytes), which can provoke CPU/MMU faults or platform errors on out-of-range readl(). Uncorrectable-error handling itself can disable CXL.mem devices and force resets, impacting availability."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/cxl/core/ras.c","drivers/cxl/core/trace.h","drivers/cxl/cxl.h"],"versions":[{"version":"2905cb5236cba63a5dc8a83752dcc31f3cc819f9","lessThan":"6fc1919a6f2ed541484dd1f6cd93374044f8fd3d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2905cb5236cba63a5dc8a83752dcc31f3cc819f9","lessThan":"fc5eb0962a5e50d64e711817cc24d67df2d90528","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2905cb5236cba63a5dc8a83752dcc31f3cc819f9","lessThan":"c268f949e219f9e179558e836f457f6c5fbec416","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/cxl/core/ras.c","drivers/cxl/core/trace.h","drivers/cxl/cxl.h"],"versions":[{"version":"6.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.2","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.42","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.5","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.42"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6fc1919a6f2ed541484dd1f6cd93374044f8fd3d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fc5eb0962a5e50d64e711817cc24d67df2d90528"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c268f949e219f9e179558e836f457f6c5fbec416"}],"title":"cxl: Fix CXL_HEADERLOG_SIZE to match RAS Capability size","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
